1/149. Superficial and deep granulomatous lesions caused by trichophyton violaceum.A patient with cutaneous and reticulo-endothelial lesions, lymphadenopathy and osteitis caused by trichophyton violaceum is presented. Two types of skin lesions were found: 1. Erythematous, scaly plaques on the arms, chest and abdomen; 2. areas of diffuse infiltration, granulomatous ulceration, fistulation and destruction of the sternal bone. Long-term treatment with penicillin, streptomycin, sulfonamides, and griseofulvin, gave temporary improvement.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = fistula (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/149. Management of prostatic fistulas.Prostatic fistulas communicating with the rectum or perineal skin are unusual complications of a prostatic operation, pelvic trauma, prostatic abscess or other iatrogenic injury. A third of these fistulas may close spontaneously with proper urinary drainage and avoidance of fecal soilage. The many operative procedures described for the repair of these fistulas indicate that no ideal method of repair can be applied to every case. Operative management should be mandated by the size, location and duration of the fistula as well as by the surgeon's experience with the various anatomic approaches.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 8keywords = fistula (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/149. The use of a posterior-based tongue flap for the closure of a pharyngocutaneous fistula.The closure of a pharyngocutaneous fistula by the use of a posteriorly based tongue flap is described. The use of such a flap for this purpose has not been previously recorded in the literature.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 210.25419392753keywords = cutaneous fistula, fistula (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/149. Percutaneous treatment of a pancreatic fistula after pancreaticoduodenectomy.Breakdown of the pancreaticojejunal anastomosis after a Whipple procedure is reported to occur in as many as 15% of cases. Intraoperative placement of a drain adjacent to the anastomosis is performed to allow the creation of a controlled pancreaticocutaneous fistula in the event of an anastomotic disruption. The authors present a case of successful percutaneous treatment of a disrupted pancreaticojejunal anastomosis. This was achieved with use of the resulting pancreaticocutaneous fistula for access to restore internal drainage, followed by fistula occlusion with use of gelatin pledgets.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 89.101677571012keywords = cutaneous fistula, fistula (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/149. Repair of a pharyngo-cutaneous fistula.A method for closure of a midline pharyngo-cutaneous fistula by providing lining from an epidermal island on a cervical skin flap and outer cover from a split skin graft has been described.

6/149. Persistent cutaneous fistula in the neck.A cutaneous fistula may develop from an infected tooth. The lesion usually arises without dental symptoms and for this reason is often incorrectly diagnosed. For correct diagnosis intraoral radiographs and essential. Elimination of the infectious process and curettage of the periapical lesion are indicated. Usually no further treatment is warranted.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 210.25419392753keywords = cutaneous fistula, fistula (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/149. Successful treatment of postoperative external biliary fistula by selective nasobiliary drainage.A 25-year old man presented with a high output external biliary fistula after an operation for a giant hydatid cyst of the liver. Endoscopic sphincterotomy was inadequate to close the fistula. A nasobiliary tube was selectively inserted into the leaking hepatic duct and bile was continuously aspirated. The fistula and the residual cavity healed completely. Details of the patients' management using this alternative technique, are discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 7keywords = fistula (Clic here for more details about this article) |

9/149. Perforating injury of the neck and vertebral artery trauma.A 10-year-old schoolboy presented with a penetrating wound to the neck after a children's slide accident. A CT scan and endoscopy showed a traumatic oesophageal-cutaneous fistula. Neurologically the child deteriorated over a period of 34 hours and finally succumbed to a respiratory arrest. Post-mortem findings showed a hypoplastic right vertebral artery. In the left suboccipital triangle a venous clot had blocked the dominant artery thus leading to cerebellar and brainstem infarction. This extraluminal compression leading to obstruction of an otherwise non traumatized vertebral artery is unique in the literature.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 42.050838785506keywords = cutaneous fistula, fistula (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/149. Percutaneous management of a nephrocutaneous fistula due to a pyelocaliceal diverticular calculus.Nephrocutaneous fistulas arising from stone-containing pyelocaliceal diverticula are rare. We describe 2 patients who were treated by open drainage for perirenal abscesses. Subsequently, both patients presented with a nephrocutaneous fistula from a stone-containing pyelocaliceal diverticulum. These patients were successfully treated by percutaneous nephrostolithotomy with fulguration of the diverticula.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 252.30503271304keywords = cutaneous fistula, fistula (Clic here for more details about this article) |
